and All-Star Revue 

Young performing songwriters from Door County and across the U.S. take the stage and the spotlight at Third Avenue Playhouse (TAP) Saturday evening, June 11^th, for Steel Bridge Songfest’s 2nd annual Emerging Talent Showcase.

Tarl Knight of DePere will host the event, joined by Door County’s Idol 2^nd place winner, Anya Kopischke and other young songwriters from as far away as Atlanta, Georgia.

Already a performing veteran at age 16, Tarl has surprised Steel Bridge audiences for the past two years with his mature compositions and confident performances.

The TAP showcase will debut the week’s creative output and also feature works from Caleb Navarro, 15, of Sturgeon Bay and Liam Hall, 16, of Atlanta, GA.

The second half of the 3-hour set will feature an All-Star retrospective of Steel Bridge Songs Vols.1-6, plus a preview of Volume 7 showcasing this years Construction Zone compositions. The All-star line-up will feature Freedy Johnston, Kim Manning, Eric McFadden, Geri X, Victoria Vox, and a whole slew of other Steel Bridge veterans and newcomers.
